JellyBean – Android 5.0 – is what Google has confirmed

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, of which we had talked earlier too is yet to be deployed on all compatible handsets yet, the Android 5.0 “JellyBean” rumours and speculations seemed to immediately sprout out. Now to, more or less, put an end to these, it seems that Google itself is eager to speak up, as The Verge reports that Google has stuffed a giant bowl of Jellybeans in the middle of their massive Android booth at Mobile World Conference 2012.

Welcome – New Nokia Lumia 610 @ MWC

Nokia has come with all its guns blazing at this huge Mobile World Congress. Nokia’s stall at Mobile World Congress is absolutely massive, and loaded with Lumias and amazing PureViews and the Ashas. Nokia in this conference has brought in, the Lumia 610.

New Windows 8 logo – in real sense ‘A Window’

Microsoft is coming up with its new Windows 8 operating system having a lot of changes and that has now also extended to a new logo. As explained by Microsoft’s Sam Moreau in a post on the official Windows blog, the logo was created with the help of the design agency Pentagram, of whom Paula posed a simple question when it began on the project: “your name is Windows. Why are you a flag?” That discussion eventually led to the four-paned window you see above, which not only looks more like a window than the previous logos, but clearly echoes the company’s new Metro design language.

Is Google Wallet safe now? – Yes

Just like some Hollywood movie, after a terror scare eliminated by the Hero of the film, Google has come up with the defence of its Google Wallet.

Over the last few days we’ve been listening to the hacks done into Wallet and questions, concerns raised about issues related to the security of Google Wallet. People, just like me, were asking if Google Wallet is safe enough for mobile phone payments. The simple answer provided by Google to this question is YES. In fact, Google Wallet offers advantages over the plastic cards and folded wallets in use today.

Relax - Wallet's SAFE for now
